Abstract: Removal of poisoning substance (sulfur oxidant) is controlled based upon
estimating an amount of the poisoning substance deposited in an exhaust gas
purification catalyst (5) disposed in an exhaust pipe (9) for an internal combustion
engine (1), a lower limit is set corresponding to a possible removal amount of the
poisoning substance varying with a state of a catalyst, and the removal control
of the poisoning substance is ended when the estimated amount is less than the
lower limit. 
     The estimated amount can be accurately calculated, thereby ending the
removal control at a proper timing. Fuel economy and exhaust gas purification
performance improves.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing real-time broadcast service
in a mobile communication system, which is especially adapted to provide real-time
broadcast service in the 3 rd  generation Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile
communication system. The method comprises: adding a broadcast service hierarchy for
specially providing real-time broadcast service in an radio access network having an
original service hierarchy for providing voice communication; real-time broadcasting
the real-time broadcast service which is accessed to the mobile communication network
to mobile terminals via air interface of the mobile communication network through
setting special broadcast resources, namely special carriers or special scrambling codes;
the mobile terminal working in either of an original service hierarchy mode and a
broadcasting service hierarchy mode which can be switched with each other. When the
special carriers are adopted, only independent down-link carrier frequency is set in the
broadcast service hierarchy, the mobile terminal solely controls the cell switching when
moving among cells and monitors the paging procedure. When the special scrambling
codes are adopted, the down-link scrambling codes of original service hierarchy and the
newly added down-link special scrambling codes are utilized in each cell of both the
original service hierarchy and the broadcast service hierarchy.

electromagnet resulting from a moving speed of an armature attracted to a
brake coil of the electromagnet that drives a brake shoe of an elevator brake,

command that is compensated so as to match the electromotive force or an
integrated value of the electromotive force to a target value. A brake coil
voltage is controlled so as to suppress the moving speed of the armature after
the armature starts moving upon brake application, whereby the brake
operation noise generated upon collision of the brake shoe with a brake drum
can be reduced.
